Learning in Secondary

Learning Enrichment

Our vision: For all students to be confident, capable learners who strive for growth towards mastery and are equipped for life in and beyond school.

We recognise and foster the individual interests and abilities of students, providing choice and adapting to their learning styles, within a well-structured learning environment. As we seek to support and enrich learning opportunities, we are shaping confident, resilient students who seek ownership of their learning, ensuring they are prepared to thrive and adapt in the world outside of school.

Working alongside our teachers, our Learning Enrichment team works to support our teaching staff, equipping them with research-based interventions and collaborative programming to meet the diverse learning needs of our students. These include small group and one-to-one reading, writing and comprehension programs, Accelerated Mathematics and Studies of Religion classes and opportunities to represent NBCS in academic competitions, such as Da Vinci Decathlon and Ethics Olympiad.

Purpose-built facilities and technology

Our commitment to ‘Excellence in Education’ is reflected in the stunning design of NBCS learning spaces. Purposefully designed to bring our vision to life, spaces are flexible and dynamic, inspiring our students to learn with greater agility and engagement.

We employ leading educational technology to integrate with our learning programs. During their time at NBCS students will have extensive opportunities to create, share and engage with others through powerful tools and services. Comprehensive connectivity allows each student to use their personal laptop to access their learning resources through systems such as our online learning portal, Canvas. Additionally, we seek to challenge students to create innovative responses to thought provoking problems through the use of industry standard applications. Aspects of this include exposure to emerging technologies such as 3D printers in a wide variety of learning spaces, creative opportunities in music and visual media, and rich databases of tested learning resources.

We also share with parents the responsibility to educate students to be safe, thoughtful users of technology and to learn to communicate within and beyond our community. This integrated approach prepares students for the reality of living in a digital and globally connected world.
